Ofsted and Performance Data
Performance Data:
All primary schools must undertake statutory assessments at key points in a child's primary school journey. These include:
- At the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) i.e. Reception,
- At the end of Year 1,
- At the end of Key Stage Two (KS2) i.e. Year 6.
(Nationally, statutory testing was paused in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19. However, we continued to assess the pupils based on teacher assessments).
Statutory Key Stage One assessment (taken at the end of Year 2) stopped being a national requirement from summer 2024.
